Summary

This quote suggests that having enemies can actually be beneficial in terms of having genuine friendships. It implies that if one does not have any enemies, it may indicate that they are not taking a stance or standing up for themselves.

Having enemies can help to test the authenticity of relationships and allows for the emergence of true friends who stand alongside you during adversities. Enemies can highlight the value of genuine connections and loyalty.
